Three new Social Club Challenges have been unlocked today for Red Dead Redemption (press pause and visit the Social Club tab in the pause menu if you need info about the Challenges) adding new objectives to Blackwater, Tesoro Azul and Tumbleweed and associated cheat rewards.

Challenge #1: Blackwater represents the dawn of proper townships in the new frontier and in keeping with a more civil theme, this Challenge is less about gun play and more about your card play. The Blackwater Challenge has a host of poker-centric challenges for those gamblers with pockets deep enough to take the plunge.

Challenge #2: In Tesoro Azul, you need to help the law, rescuing one of their deputies that has been taken hostage by a gang of banditos. Is your aim sure enough to save the deputy without using Dead Eye?

Challenge #3: A ghost town no longer, Tumbleweed has become a haven for the lowest of the low. Stepping up to play the hero again, you need to rescue the sheriff and then help him clear out the rest of the riff-raff holed up in an abandoned mansion.

Here are the Social Club Challenge objectives you need to complete broken out by area:

Blackwater

  • Win 2 pots on a bluff
  • Knock 1 person out of the game
  • You always bet less than the pot

There are some pre-requisites that need to be completed before you can actually initiate a Social Club Challenge in any of these areas. For Tumbleweed you will need to complete the mission “New Friends, Old Problems”, Tesoro Azul requires you to pass “The Demon Drink” mission and Blackwater becomes accessible only when you make it to the North (last half of the game).

If you need help with the last two, check out the Gang Hideout (Single Player) Guide.

Each Challenge, when completed with a silver medal, will add a cheat to your cheats collection. Here is what you will get for completing each:
  • Blackwater - Punchout, kill enemies with a single punch.
  • Tesoro Azul - Right to Bear Arms, gives every civilian a weapon.
  • Tumbleweed - Gun Set #4, change your weapon load-out to a new set of guns.

Play the Challenges and then visit the Social Club to check out where your time stacks up on our Challenge Leaderboards. All you need to take advantage of any Social Club Challenges is a Social Club account which can be created in-game or on the web by going here and registering.

Best of luck and stay tuned for the long awaited Red Dead Redemption Rockstar XP Challenge kicking off early next year! More details to come! Discuss in the Red Dead Redemption forums!
